The old United was actually absorbed by Continental. Continental Airlines changed its name to United Airlines. To this effect right after the merger the PAs always said “Welcome to the new United Airlines” This is from the 8K filing On March 31, 2013, United merged with and into Continental, with Continental continuing as the surviving corporation of the Merger and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAL. Upon the closing of the Merger on March 31, 2013, Continental’s name was changed to “United Airlines, Inc.” (the “Survivor”). https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/100517/000119312513140583/d514659d8k.htm The combined and renamed company retained the Continental Air Operating Certificate and the United maintenance certificate.

There are paper jepp backups in most United Airlines aircraft and the 2 or more pilots have their own company issued iPads. However this article relates to Skywest pilots.

Winds on the NATs have been strong recently. It might have needed a slower Mach for range. Paris to JFK is just under 3200nm. The wiki for the 321LR says it’s range is 3200nm with a typical payload.
